Not really. Diff has nothing to do with it as each tires is already free to turn independant of the one on the opposite side. Tight turns are hard on them, but for every tire being dragged outboard, there is one being dragged inboard. Therefor inside edge and outside edges should be equally worn and they are not. This is an alignment issue. Probably some combination of camber and toe. Of course the alignment is not adjustable so if you don't have bent axles I guess you just have to live with replacing the tires periodically.
My utility trailer I use to tow my RZR did the same thing. I assume a previous owner overloaded it at some point and bent the axle. I went to a trailer store and bought a new axle. They even stock them at Tractor Suppy.
